Background
District-level police and district administration units conduct public dissemination of national sub-decrees to inform local communities about operational rules and safety measures. Sub-decrees issued by the Royal Government set secondary legislation that directs local implementation of national policy on security and administrative matters.
Sub-Decree No.03 specifically concerns management of security and safety at residential gathering locations and measures to address online scams conducted through information and communications technologies. The National Police of Cambodia and Kambol district administration led a publicity drive for the sub-decree in Kambol district, Phnom Penh on 27 June 2026.
Scope of Application
The sub-decree applies to management and safety standards at residential locations used for public gatherings and to activities classified as online scams that exploit digital platforms. As a Royal Government instrument, the sub-decree establishes expectations for coordination between national authorities and local administrations in implementing those measures.
Key Provisions or Decisions
The published material identifies two principal areas covered by the sub-decree: (1) governance and safety management for residential gathering sites, and (2) measures aimed at identifying and cleaning up online scams conducted via technology. Local police and district administrative commands are shown publicly communicating the sub-decree to residents as part of initial implementation activities.
Implications for Investors, Businesses, or Compliance
Entities that operate or host residential gatherings and local service providers should expect the sub-decree to shape local safety protocols and administrative coordination with police authorities. Operators of digital services and community stakeholders may encounter new procedural expectations for reporting and cooperation related to online scam investigations as the sub-decree is implemented at the district level.
